here is the pastebin of the tekkit logs for one of the players who cannot join, again thanks for the help http://pastebin.com/U0NTsTav

yes we are all running the same version of java and tekkit lite.

So recently ive gotten back into tekkit and ive been wanting to host my own server for me and a couple of friends to play on. However, when certain friends attempt to connect they time out and get the "java.net.sockettimeoutexception read timed out" error. The weird thing is 2 out of 5 of my friends can join and play perfectly fine as well as myself both connecting via localhost and my public ip. My troubleshooting skills have been exhausted. I have tried allowing all of their public ips through my firewall (both inbound and outbound). Completely disabling windows firewall as well as AVG. I've also made sure everyones java is up to date and running 64 bit. Completely rebooted router and changed public ip. Im fresh out of options and im kinda really annoyed because i have hosted a lot of servers in the past. Before anyone asks, yes 25565 is open. Here is the error the server console gets when someone joins: 2017-01-10 17:53:57 [INFO] [STDERR] java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out 2017-01-10 17:53:57 [INFO] [STDERR] at java.net.SocketInputStream.socketRead0(Native Method) 2017-01-10 17:53:57 [INFO] [STDERR] at java.net.SocketInputStream.socketRead(Unknown Source) 2017-01-10 17:53:57 [INFO] [STDERR] at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(Unknown Source) 2017-01-10 17:53:57 [INFO] [STDERR] at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(Unknown Source) 2017-01-10 17:53:57 [INFO] [STDERR] at java.io.FilterInputStream.read(Unknown Source) 2017-01-10 17:53:57 [INFO] [STDERR] at org.bouncycastle.crypto.io.CipherInputStream.nextChunk(Unknown Source) 2017-01-10 17:53:57 [INFO] [STDERR] at org.bouncycastle.crypto.io.CipherInputStream.read(Unknown Source) 2017-01-10 17:53:57 [INFO] [STDERR] at java.io.FilterInputStream.read(Unknown Source) 2017-01-10 17:53:57 [INFO] [STDERR] at ef.a(Packet.java:142) 2017-01-10 17:53:57 [INFO] [STDERR] at cg.i(TcpConnection.java:324) 2017-01-10 17:53:57 [INFO] [STDERR] at cg.c(TcpConnection.java:544) 2017-01-10 17:53:57 [INFO] [STDERR] at ch.run(SourceFile:93) 2017-01-10 17:53:57 [INFO] [Minecraft] _HBOB121_ [/144.136.140.97:63532] lost connection Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
